Foley’s Munster out to sink Pirates

IT IS a game that may have slipped under the radar but regardless of what happens at the RDS tonight, Munster may collect their first piece of silverware this season in the final of the inaugural British & Irish Cup against Cornish Pirates at Camborne tomorrow (6pm, Sky Sports).

Munster undertake the test after a highly impressive unbeaten campaign but coach Anthony Foley regards this as his side’s toughest assignment given the Pirates have home advantage.

“We’re really looking forward to the game,” Chris Stirling, Pirates high performance manager, said yesterday.
